Sigh... The plot, characters and everything were super interesting but I had to drop it bc of the fricking FLASHBACKS. More specifically it was the flow of the story that annoyed the hell out of me, for example in the first arc I was super invested in the progression of the plot of the first world but then my immersion was interrupted with all the foreshadowing, the setting up of the main antagonist, the MC & ML backstory that the author just had to slide in between the first arc. I just couldn't bring myself to care for all of that when I'm more invested on the plot of the 1st world.I preserved and continued on to the second arc and I thought that since the author had established all the important things in the first arc, in this second world, the story would focused more on the plot of the second world but NO, almost every chapter (iirc) there were snippets of the MC and ML flashbacks and it just drove me f*cking insane! Even the conversation between the ML and MC made me mad, because I wanted the story to focused more on the plot of the 2nd world rather than their mysterious whatever backstory.I think why this bothered me so much is bc what I like about QT novel is the various worlds and the variety of different plots they provided, here the QT aspect basically served as a sub-plot and the main plot is the MC and ML romance and their mysterious backstory... which is not what I wanted from a QT novel.The story is really great though, I will probably pick it up again when I have the right mindset for it.
